From the Word: Romans 4
Posted on September 12th, 2007 in Faith, From the Word by Fred McKinnon“He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He [God] had promised He [God] was also able to perform.” (Romans 4: 20-21)
This is the passage that we read today in our family “breakfast devotion” time. I love this passage because it reminds us that God is the God of the impossible. What seems impossible to US is possible THROUGH GOD … IF we believe.
BELIEVE … I’ve been seeing and hearing that word often. It’s resounding throughout the Kingdom – on blogs, in testimonies, in devotions … I keep seeing it come up. Maybe it’s always been there, but I’m just noticing it more.
Unbelief is sinful. It’s an enemy of faith and will destroy your dreams, along with negative thoughts, doubt, and double-mindedness. It’s so natural, though. I find myself being a skeptic more than I should. But how many dreams are NOT being fulfilled because of our unbelief.
Do you have dreams that you’ve let slip away … dreams that you believe are God-spoken; yet seem impossible? Has the circumstances of life robbed you of the faith to believe? I know that I’ve certainly let this happen – and I’m asking God to rekindle the flame of those God-ordained dreams that He’s birthed in me over the years that I’ve filed away in a “never gonna happen” box – because of lack of faith, lack of tenacity, and unbelief. (lack of faith and unbelief go hand in hand).
How about you … what dream do you want to share? Rekindle your belief, and allow yourself to be “fully convinced” that what God promises, He can and will perform!
Let’s talk about it.
